NAME

       ubuntu-dev-tools - Configuration for the ubuntu-dev-tools package.

DESCRIPTION

       The  ubuntu-dev-tools package is similar in scope to the devscripts(1) package, providing a collection of
       scripts which may be of use to Ubuntu and Debian developers or others wishing to build Debian packages.

       Some of these scripts have options which may be configured on a system-wide and  per-user  basis.   These
       options are configured in devscripts.conf(5).

       All variables are described in the script's manpages. Package-wide variables begin with "UBUNTUTOOLS" and
       are listed below.

       Every  script  which  reads  the  configuration files can be forced to ignore them by using the --no-conf
       command-line option.

ENVIRONMENT

       All ubuntu-dev-tools configuration variables  can  be  set  (and  overridden)  by  setting  them  in  the
       environment (unlike devscripts).

       In addition, several scripts use the following environment variables:

       UBUMAIL
              Overrides  DEBEMAIL  and  DEBFULLNAME when the target is clearly Ubuntu.  Can either contain an e-
              mail address or Full Name <email@example.org>.

       DEBEMAIL, DEBFULLNAME
              As in devscripts(1).

PACKAGE-WIDE VARIABLES

       The currently recognised package-wide variables are:

       UBUNTUTOOLS_BUILDER
              This specifies the preferred test-builder, one of pbuilder (default), sbuild, pbuilder-dist.

       UBUNTUTOOLS_DEBIAN_MIRROR
              The preferred Debian archive mirror.  Should  be  of  the  form  http://ftp.debian.org/debian  (no
              trailing slash).  If not specified, the master will be used.

       UBUNTUTOOLS_DEBSEC_MIRROR
              The  preferred  Debian  security archive mirror.  Should be of the form http://security.debian.org
              (no trailing slash).  If not specified, the master will be used.

       UBUNTUTOOLS_UBUNTU_MIRROR
              The preferred Ubuntu archive mirror.  Should be of the form  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu  (no
              trailing slash).  If not specified, the master will be used.

       UBUNTUTOOLS_UBUNTU_PORTS_MIRROR
              The  preferred  Ubuntu archive mirror.  Should be of the form http://ports.ubuntu.com (no trailing
              slash).  If not specified, the master will be used.

       UBUNTUTOOLS_LPINSTANCE
              The launchpad instance to communicate with. e.g. production (default) or staging.

       UBUNTUTOOLS_MIRROR_FALLBACK
              Whether or not to fall-back to the master archive mirror.  This is usually the desired  behaviour,
              as mirrors can lag the masters.  If on a private network with only a local mirror, you may want to
              set this to no.  One of yes (default) or no.

       UBUNTUTOOLS_UPDATE_BUILDER
              Whether or not to update the test-builder before each test build.  One of yes or no (default).

       UBUNTUTOOLS_WORKDIR
              The  directory  to  use for preparing source packages etc.  When unset, defaults to a directory in
              /tmp/ named after the script.
